Stardust.

It is an utterly delightful fairy story. (In the light of Robert de Niro's fantastically camp performance, maybe that's the wrong word to use). With just enough knowing self-mockery and adult humour, it is also an absorbing love story and high adventure. The cast is marvellous (I fall more deeply in love with Michelle Pfeiffer as she gets older and ever more beautiful - and she makes a great wicked witch) and the story quirky yet familiar for anyone who has listened to traditional tales. De Niro is completely mesmerising and his wink at the coronation is unforgettable.

As always for me, a film is made great by the music, and in this case, the music is just right.

Since having the DVD bought for me on my birthday, I have watched it several times, never tiring of the delight.

If you like romantic films, this is a must.

Need I say more?
